PHILADELPHIA — The best player in the Eagles’ joint practice with the New England Patriots Monday was Nelson Agholor.
Yeah, that guy. And it wasn't close.
Two stops removed from the Eagles, who took him off the board in the first round of the 2015 draft, Agholor caught everything in his wheelhouse and more. The over-the-shoulder grab he made on Eagles rookie Zech McPherson, who had leveraged the receiver almost to the boundary would have made DeAndre Hopkins smile.
How do you let go of a guy who makes the job look so effortless, as the Eagles did in letting Agholor walk when his contract ran out after the 2019 season?
